Yamaha MOXF-6 VS Motif XF-6 comparison/porównanie.

www.muzykuj.com/testy/instrume...

[@DihelsonMendonca]

They sound equal. I´m listening on a professional recording studio with analog Mackie mixer, Alesis and all professional stuff. No perceptible differences here. Some little differences are due to the playing itself, which never is the same twice.

[@guilhermeruppert9662]

+1... sounds identical in this recording... using KRK RP8 studio monitors, KA6 audio interface. No difference at all.

[@pianokidd6096]

Tbr you can the quantity in the sounds one has more effect then the other

[@helsinkioslo836]

Check your ears my friend. You need earphones when comparing them side by side and not some mackie mixer🤣. Alesis is more of a consumer brand and not exactly for professional. And stating brands won't mean you have good ears😂

[@eaglechildkeys]

If you are an 80s early 90s LOVER this is a synth for you. My favourite patches are EP & PADS. Very Crystal sounds, clean...just perfect...I love my MOX6.

[@Jomarjf]

Praticamente nenhuma diferença na sonoridade. Incrível! Parabéns pelo vídeo.

[@cosmic_gate476]

Nice, thank you! They definitely outdid themselves with the MOXF!! :)

[@kennethteo7974]

Thanks. Exactly same nice sounds. Great demo.

[@rabellogp]

Nice comparison. They sounds exactly the same for me. Listening to the comparison without looking at the video I can't even tell when you change between keyboards.

[@dekzan]

You do the best reviews. I prefer both these Motif sounds to the new MODX that is lacking mid-range

[@ayrtoninchejanampa6874]

But the MODX also has all the MOTIF sounds, unless you have tried the MODX and it sounded different to you, because as I said, all these sounds are in the MODX

[@ArtemiTV]

Thanks for this comparison, very interesting

[@fishnmusicn]

Same sound, good to know just learning the MOXF6 - steep learning curve with everything it offers if your composing but it's worth it.

[@edgross2031]

the difference is with the key action. i have mox6, love it!

[@flabrada]

The sounds are the same, but the Motif sounds better probably because it has better DA circuitry or even better clocking as well.

[@abdolreza82]

It's interesting how people judge. First you should consider that they both have identical waverom. There is not mentioned what the recording settings are. MOXF has an internal sound card so the recording from MOXF can be done digitally but what about MOTIF XF? How is it done for XF? Is FireWire board installed? Otherwise you won't have the digital output MOXF is giving you. Also there is always a slight difference in the velocity of the played keys. How can you identically play with the same velocity. This comparison is only good to get a general understanding of how they both sound.

[@nathantaylor2735]

Just bought one and I love it!!! I have a Korg M3 and needed something lighter without compromising functionality, quality and power. One of the differences in the sound is the weighted action vs synth action. In all my years of playing, I've played the same boards in various sizes 61, 73, and 88 note; and the weighted versions always sounded more fuller and heavier. Also, the converters in the Motif XF are different than the MOXF. Other than that, they have the same Wave Rom and the Motif XF can play 16 parts at once in performance mode vs 4 on the MOXF. However, you can create 16 part performances in Song mode. Other than that, I'm absolutely satisfied and can't wait to use both my M3 and MOXF simultaneously.

[@wearecontendmusic]

Very similar but very subtle difference. I thought it was most obvious during the drum kits at the end -- the XF kick drum sounded rounder to my ears. I love my MOXF8. 30lbs less and sounds 95% as good -- that fits my bill!

[@Venatt1]

The MoXF has exactly the same sounds as the Motif XF, except for the sampling capabilities. What I like about the Moxf is the weight, it's very light while the XF, even the 6 is quite heavy.

[@ElectricCelt56]

Nice phrases, wicked drum playing! Nice video.

[@joadesmartins2599]

bom de mais cara gostei da demostração valeu!

[@fortuneinternationalsemina3461]

Thank you....This helped me in my final decision.

[@supastylez]

which one is the latest one? that has more sounds? I want the best one

[@josephreed1369]

The sound is equal!!

[@alltheabove9960]

Same sound engine only thing I would say is the motif is likeable because the drawbars and screen

[@CarlosKaiman]

Just purchased the Yamaha MOXF-6, it's on it's way, can't wait to start using it! i think i made a great choice!!! and saved some money at the same time!!

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

yes u did. im sure u already receive it. mine is also on his way. i sold my motif 6. motif es6. and mo6. now ill keep the moxf. price is better now.

[@KennyBucketz]

+Jade Pascual is the sound between the two the same? Someone commented that when you perform, the mox's piano sounds sound more muffled. Is that true?

[@andremorrell7329]

After owning every motif ever made.. I discovered the difference is when you compare the 8 to the 7 or the 6. There's a difference in the lower range that will make you think an entire octave is missing from the six or seven.. Also the 8's appear to put out more audio power than the other boards... I've programmed my xs8 and xs6 exactly the same.. But the items i mentioned earlier plays a role in making my 6 sound like a toy! Seriously!!!!

[@synthesizerisking2886]

Only differences I see is the knobs and buttons are in diff places but the display screen is bigger on the motif xf 6

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

Great comparison review. For being almost $1,000 cheaper, the MOXF-6 really holds its own against the much more expensive Motif XF-6.

[@TheTruthIsFiction]

I don't even know what sounds we are hearing. Are they coming from the main outputs or are they coming through the USB port into the computer? Maybe this is all fake marketing to make you rush to the shops and buy a MOXF.

[@bcj842]

@@TheTruthIsFiction It's literally the same sound engine. It's cheaper because it's got less robust housing/buttons/display, 1 flash expansion slot instead of 2, less features, etc. MOXF is also made in China whereas Motif was made in Japan.

[@endyzyl]

YAMAHA clearly stated that the both have the exact same sound engine. So, how is it different, or one better than the other? IMO, the MOXF is a better value for money.

[@truthmanifestingtruth]

Endy Ekpo one is more for presets and the other can edit the sounds more extensively.

[@russellhill7694]

Engine is not the only thing that makes sound. Analog circuit and converters play a huge role.this is why motif sounds better - better components, converters and their algorithms.

[@STeroidsnicca]

@@russellhill7694 really?

[@JonesyTheCat]

I'm listening through a pair of high-end reference speakers, no difference at all.

[@harleyrider9166]

Editing capabilities is the main difference. Just do a little research. It’s out here online if you choose to do that over making outlandish statements about their being no difference in the sound capabilities.

[@CarltonMoxley]

Is the card slot on the back compatible With the ES??????????/ I need to save some songs from the ES And put it in the older keyboard

[@zhurom2634]

Отлично!!! Moxf по звуку не хуже! Классные аппараты!

[@MrCrrispy]

Very intersting test, thanks. The 1st piano sounds just exactly the same. The S6 is somehow better on the Motif though. The other sounds are 100% the same, nobody could differentiate on a blind test...

[@GeoMatRay]

Thanks for the comparison demo! Sounds the same to me; what's your opinion? Nice playing skills, BTW! 👍

[@leamonstubbs3949]

Yeah I'm definitely sticking with the moxf just because of its build quality..... Got them on a great deal nowadays even tho the Motif was hard to past because of the color screen Display which was a big part (finally added ) I'm going to miss Analog and digital converters for the price and weight I'm sticking with the moxf gigging board Same sounds, better portability and half the price! Awesome key drumming btw... Cheers

[@davekdmd]

same sound obvsiouly but definitely more power from the xf6. could it be the power itself or some eq differences maybe? or i'm wondering could it have been from the different output-input connections in both the keyboards. Anyways thanks for the great comparison video!

[@elizabethamanquah3044]

Can you layer different tones on the MoXF8 like the Motif ?

[@urielalvarezlopez2210]

hello friends a question to internal motif XF7 to few tracks I create, someone can help me

[@grzegorzfiedorowicz]

Dlaczego strój instrumentu nie jest w A440???

[@savio1445]

please can you tell me witch is the new one??

[@MRcyclon1]

Great video. Moxf has slightly harsher thinner sound. Motif got fuller rounder body, overall better sound.

[@khwezimwandla4920]

They both sound the same🔥🎹🎵. It's a Full Concert Grand from the Motif

[@urielalvarezlopez2210]

hola amigos una pregunta con el motif xf7 hasta cuantas pistas internas puedo crear , alguien me puede ayudar

[@cameron_fairchild]

I have on Sony earphones with outstanding bottom, balanced mids and perfect highs and the Motif XF sounds a little bit better...it's Warmer and Rounder, especially when he plays in the lower octaves. The drums are fatter too.

[@russellhill7694]

Perhaps ears is the weakest link in your setup. The difference is there and I will blind test it 100% of the times on a phone and 10$ samsung ear poda

[@agst2006]

thanks for the comparison, I wonder if they have the same set of performance mode

[@ayrtoninchejanampa6874]

Solo se que el motif xf tiene más cantidad de performances que el moxf

[@aryaboustani6359]

Hi. I'm just interested in the piano sound differences. I don't know if there is a setting in EQ or attack control but to me MOXF has slightly more defined attack content and as a result makes the sound perceive more dynamic and more open sounding, and MOTIF sounds just slightly compressed or slightly less detailed. There is a little low mid frequency accumulation in MOTIF that may perceive fuller sound but when playing many notes it ends up hearing more note separation with MOXF (more transparent). These are differences of less than 10 percent so I doubt it would matter for the performance. However, if you had pianissimo playback of a note or a chord (without the pedal) and just hold the keys to hear the natural volume drop, you could compare the resolution and realism of the notes a bit better. A lot of decent and above piano sounds do well with velocities in the upper half of the range and reveal their weaknesses on soft and very soft notes.

[@kyanzang]

dude. i just got a fa06. do i absolutely need to get a sustain pedal for the piano. or is there any way i can tweak to make the sound sustain. can do on my yamaha but finding it hard on my fa. help plzzzz

[@wearecontendmusic]

Get a pedal. It's a must have and they're only $20. 👍

[@joerolon1468]

Very nice comparison. Could anyone talk me about the key bed action of the moxf6 please? thanks

[@davismaxx]

A little late, but the moxf6 is pretty noisy and cheap but not the worst ive felt or owned. The Korg Krome has a quieter, slightly heavier action. I have both and just got a MODX6

[@hplanta]

For me, the biggest difference can be seen on the position of volume faders. While it is on its maximum position on MOXF, it is almost on the minimum position on Motif xf.

[@alanjackson5911]

wagner Silva You are right about the volume levels but I’ve owned the moxf 88 for about a month now and the volume on most voices are not turned all the way up,for example full concert grand is set at 100 you can set it to 127 by turning the first knob where the 8 knobs are and it makes a world of difference and it makes the voice sound better. I don’t think a lot of people know about checking that that’s why the master volume is turned up higher on the moxf plus it’s a lot of things you can change and tweak on this board and it is an amazing board if you really dig into it

[@sohandxmasterid012]

Which is one best?

[@samuelwenerd9976]

Could anyone add input regarding the keybed feel between these two workstations?

[@MrRedrocket42]

Having played both quite a bit, I can try to answer your question. IMO, the Motif XF6 has a very responsive and solid feeling synth action keybed as it should for it's price range and intended end users. Now that's not to say the MOXF6 keybed is poor or unprofessional feeling in any way, because I actually feel that it's quite good for the price range, however there is an obvious quality difference between the two. I can tell you that the MOXF6 keybed is much better than both it's direct competitors - the Korg Krome 61 and the Roland FA-06.

[@untoquedeDios]

Do you ever answer to your subscribers or non- subscribers?

[@shiggins9]

Do you have these keyboards tuned sharp? Around A442?

[@ayrtoninchejanampa6874]

Correct, the video is in another tuning, sorry for my English

[@innog1195]

the difference between the XF and MOXF. it's the 8 sliders on the left which allow you to mix several sounds, the possibility of recording music that you have made directly onto a USB key in audio, more power also in audio output...., in short it's practice these options...

[@bobcatt2294]

Would like to see the MOXF vs MX-61

[@carmenblopez4007]

1:29 ???? Que pieza es ?

[@usafirefly]

Great!

[@TheVelaRock]

The only difference I hear is the velocity in which you play each keyboard. They both sound the same since they have the same sound engine.🤷‍♂️ The only difference between the MOXF and Motif XF resides in their hardware. the number of controls, the number of outputs or inputs and the materials used for their construction.

[@rodolfometanoia]

Embora os timbres pareçam ser e soar idênticos, na minha opinião Motif Xf entrega algo mais cristalino.... Tenho um Moxf e amo demais esse teclado. Em breve vou adquirir o Motif Xf. Assim poderei dar minha opinião de forma mais clara pois terei utilizado os dois na questão "jogo valendo" que será no palco e na mix

[@tunamusic6540]

I have MOXF6 (with flashcard). Thinking about replace with Jupiter 50. JP50 feels great touching. ( better than moxf6) My set up Nord Stage 2 HP76 Yamaha Moxf6 Access Virus TI Snow Nord Lead A1 Moog Miniature Novation KS5 Kronos 2 is a great instrument. JP50 has 76 keys which is comfortable for pianists. I will let go KS5, Moog, ti snow and get a Virus Ti2. Nord Lead A1+MOXF6=Kronos 2 61 I will uptade my set up but I change my mind everyday I 'm stuck:-) Help needed!

[@albertpeka]

I think there's a bit difference at the low end especially in the piano sound. The sound seems much warmer in the Motif XF or could it be because of the eq settings? Anyway, they sound a lot similar, almost the same.

[@musicianboii19]

Thanks

[@richardnoel643]

people just convince themselves its different to justify what they paid for the regular motif. which they are not different its the same sound engine and same sound set sound for sound. plus it has flash and direct usb hookup to your computer which makes it have a built in interface so it actually outshines the regular motif in this area and best part you can get the 88 key for 1300 to 1500 brand new its a no brainer to me i have both the motif xf and the moxf one for gigs and one for the studio

[@jeremilicata]

I’m just curious, which one do you use for the studio?? And do you use t for midi or use the direct sounds from the keyboard. Thanks bro👍🏻

[@richardnoel643]

Jeremi Licata the xf stays in the studio it’s heavier lol and the moxf I will do a gig with it because it’s light compared to a lot of other keyboards

[@richardnoel643]

Jeremi Licata I use the motif xf for midi a lot but I been primarily using native instruments in the last two years. And the motif is for controlling Omnisphere and on occasions I still love the Yamaha sounds as well

[@jeremilicata]

Richard Noel ohhh man so you would rather use the native instruments piano then the sound from the motif Xf?? Why wouldn’t you just buy a cheap heavy weighted keyboard to use for midi instead?? I’m trying to find the best option for the studio. I appreciate it bro!

[@richardnoel643]

Jeremi Licata I vary my set up I primarily do a lot of today r&b and hip hop. If your trying to get the most bang for your buck but want a powerful set up. I would go this route if it was me. I use the native instruments stuff a lot because it’s really good. I am a big Yamaha motif guy but the pianos that omnisphere has nowadays is just straight crazy. My set up is apple Logic Pro x 10.3 and studio one 4 for my daws. Native instruments for a lot of my go to sounds and omnisphere that I control with the motif and and I still do use the motif sounds from time to time because I am use to it then I use Splice which is crazy for inspirational sounds to start songs. With all of this I am using a 2013 MacBook Pro that I paid $350 for and maxed out to 16 on the ram and 2 tb running a I7 chip and bro I am so good to go for quite a while. Just between omnisphere native instruments and splice you got sounds for a few years.

[@bakolakoz]

Thx for the video. I think that the XF6 sound is more rich. Maybe there is a difference in the keybeds which makes velocity different....Check the EP at 2:47 for example. It sounds somewhat different. What is the opinion of the tester?

[@stevenmora3178]

motifs biggest diff is its more transparent. its also more vibrant, way more depth and more brilliance. moxf sounds like evrything got muffled in the high frequencies.

[@danielmilone1195]

I think that there is a MIDI connection and that sounds the same sound source. I doubt that sound the same.

[@israeltigabu5923]

Daniel Milone, go to ur local music shop and try them out bro... they are exactly the same

[@SteveWorshipsOfficial]

[@zhurom2634]

Спасибо!

[@mysterio77690]

Difficult to know witch one sound "better"...they have the same "engine"...but the différence could be in the outpout's power, (or in the keybeds too) certainly higher in the motif than in the MO XF.

[@ThiagoSecundo]

[@carlosalbertohernandezrey9353]

No hay diferencia los dos sinthes suenan genial

[@jonatasbvt]

First I thought they sound equal, but... They don't. I had to listen very carefully to notice that there's a bit more warmth and presence on Motif XF-6 than MOXF6, specially in low frequences (probably some EQ would solve that). Motif is a great keyboard for producers, by its funtionality. To carry with me to the stage, definely the MO.

[@agusr32]

I don't agree, so if you set the low frequencies higher more people would like it? nah, there is no difference

[@samiraraujo1]

Deberías poner el nombre de los voice?

[@rando53]

If all you are doing is comparing sounds, it is very close. What about features?? Does the MOXF have integrated sampling for example. I don't know what features it has as I own a Motif XF and am VERY satisfied with it...

[@whoisit9230]

They're both have the same sound engine

[@AndrewTSq]

I have the moxf6. Moxf6 can load samples if you have the flashrom installed. Otherwise i think the biggest changes are that Motif has 8 sliders, large color screen, onboard sampling, and probably better d/a:s

[@christophertorrespicasso7598]

Lo estoy escuchando con unos audífonos akg de studio, y la diferencia de tono entre las 2, es tan mínima, solo en algunos sonidos el motif tiene algo más de cuerpo, y en los demás la diferencia es prácticamente inexistente.

[@sebastiansilva693]

La diferencia es que uno tiene mejor estructura física., yvmejir elaboración, usas un Top, y después en sonido son iguales... el Xf tiene una mini mina de brillo ... y fuerza , pero muy poquito...

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

thanks. but i bought the es6 already today. ill vet the moxf8 next year. lol

[@Makraska]

Had Motif XF. Was a bitch to lug around. Sold it and bought an MOXF with the flash ROM board and pocketed the 1500 USD difference. Carry this one like a backpack....

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

its the same. also the s90xs has same sound. i compared the 3 at the guitar center.

[@danedmiston7734]

It's my understanding that they both have the same sound engine. I own a MoXF8 and a Motif ES8 the MoXF8 pianos blow the ES out of the water. The MotifXF8 has after-touch which I really like but I am not going to spend $1900.00 for it. Nord Stage 2 or the new Nord Stage 2 EX are the best in my opinion but very pricey.

[@instrumentalistjade8367]

how about yamaha es6 vs moxfs? whats ghe big difference? which is better?

[@danedmiston7734]

***** Try the Nord Stage 2 EX it's incredible. Kronos has many more sounds and is a different animal than the Nord. The Nord is a live set keyboard and not a work station whatsoever.

[@danedmiston7734]

Kronos is a good match for you. It's a great keyboard,

[@liquadiaone2865]

I have listened to this synth today in PMT Music cardiff. I can tell you that the MOXF8 is different to the MOTIF XF, im not sure how this person is capturing but the MOXF-8 doesnt sound like the 1 he is playing, the one i used sounded muffled more muted sound. Maybe hes using some type of compressor or something to alter the sounds OR the MOXF-8 is controlling the sounds player on the MOTIF XF and in actual fact playing motif XF sounds. I decided against my purchase today and was let down by the poor sound on this unit

[@vfm66798]

May be there are muffled ones and not muffled ones. Mine sounds not muffled at all.

[@fireham2346]

VERY helpful comparison. Thanks alot guys! I thought about to upgrade from moxf to motif, but now... In my opinion also the motif sounds richer than the moxf. Could the Master-FX the reason for that (Master Button light up whithin voice mode) or similar? I think it's not due to deep technical aspects. If I would buy a motif I also need a FW Expansion to use it as I do right now. The price explodes to nearly 3 times more than the moxf. For additional 2.3K I am able to buy a lot of sounds and other stuff like a Flash module. Cheers
